WOne of the taxes which the Republican
organs say should be raised for the purpose
of cutting down revenue by prohibiting i'm
portations is the tariff upon glass.
The duty upon window glass now ranges
from 61 to 174 per cent. and the average for
last year was 1918 per cent. At this rate,
which would seem to be high enough to dis
courage importation very effectually, the
consumers of common window-glass paid
last year in tariff taxes $1,174.OO0. The IN
FAINT industry which this duty is supposed
to protect employed in 1880 "3,753 men, one
woman and 1874 children" The average
wages of glass workers in 1860 according to
Col. Carroll D. Wright, Chief the Bureau of
Statistics Of Labor in Massachusetts,, was
1896 per day. In 1880, after twenty years OF
high duties, the average wages was only 81
10 cents-a decrease of 20 per cent.
Who is protected" by duty which COM
pels the people of this country to pay annu-
ally $4,000, 900 more for the daylight IN their
houses than they otherwise would! Not the
glass-wor kers surely. Their wages have dl-
minished. An answer is furnished In the
suggestive fact that Mr.. DePauw, the great
glass manufacturer of Indiana, recently died
leaving an estate Of $15,OO0,OO0.

"a A writer who recently visited the place,
says that the grounds around the Soldiers
Home near Dayton, are yearly becoming
more beautiful, and it would be hard to find
more charming spot than the lovely flower
garden, which now meets the daily view of
the five thousand veterans who are passing
their days in this quiet retreat. The monu-
ment, which stands ON an elevated position
in the grounds, and under whose base are
buried many hundreds of veterans, is a
stately one, and is grand testimonial to the
patriotism and honest purposes of the dead
to whose memory 1t is erected. The living
veterans seem to enjoy themselves, and under
the shade of the trees and upon the various
benches gather together and fight over the
battles of the past and seem to be highly
gratifed at the parental care exercised over
them by the government.

coming after them took some hasty notes Of
manners and customs and events, and hand
ed them down to their children; and so
traditions and records grew, until the time
when books-dull, dry narratives Of simple
facts-appeared, which gave little promise of
attaining to historical prominence orimport-
ance. The sun Of the fame Of our pioneer
heroes had not set, however, for we can catch
the glimmer and the glamor Of their mighty
deeds now, and it is ours to perpetuate them
in the drama of the printed page.
This history, then, is picture of perma-
nent interest, the material is carefully
gathered up from the records of the past that
"none of the fragments may be lost" The
incidents are real, vivid, picturesque, and
portrayed with fervor and sympathy that
makes the characters move and live again.
1t is wholly labor of love on the part of the
writer. 1t is interesting and true, and all
the more interesting because it is true. 1t is
history, but it reads like romance.

the author so that we will be able to publish

~ Senator Vest, of Missouri, says that
no single Congress has ever enacted so many
just and benefcent laws as the last, and cites
the following in proof of his statement: "It
enacted the Presidential succession bill, and
also settled forever the electoral count by
giving to each State the power to determine
for whom its vote shall be counted. It re-
stored to the public domain 100000 acres
of land granted railroad corporations and
unearned. 1t passed a resolution to investi-
gate the Pacific railroads, which has already
caused one of these roads to pay the interest
on its bonds held by the Government and to
arrange for the payment of the principal. II
repealed the tenure of Office law enacted fol-
partisan purposes in violation of the Con-
stitution. It established tribunal for trying
suits against the Government instead Of
crowding claims upon the journals of Con
gress and into the hands of lobbyists. i
passed bills preventing the employment o.
convict labor by federal officers, and thu
contracting for the protection of American
fisherman; it also passed the inter state com
merce law, and the act to pension soldiers o
the Mexican war. So far from neglecting o.
endangering the public interests, as on
enemies predicted, the example of tn
patriotic and earnest man, who is nov
President, has permeated andpervaded ever
department of the service, until from tn
Great Lakes to the Gulf, and from ocean t
ocean the Government is known to be safe II
the hands of the Democratic party. TIL
merchant in his counting house, the lahore
in factory and furnace, the settler on hi
homestead, know and feel that an honest
able and fearless President will protect tn
citizen everywhere in every State of tn
Union" This is the record to the Demo
cratic party.

The Governor Allen Statue.

The statue of the late Governor VIM. Allen,
presented by the State of Ohio to be placed
in Statuary Hall in the National Capitol. has
arrived, but has mot been unboxed. The
sculptor recently wrote to Architect CLARK
asking if the statue had arrived in good
shape, but Mr.. Clark was not willing to open
the box and make an examination without
authority from the Ohio Committee. So he
wrote to Governor Foraker, inclosing the
note of the sculptor, and asking if he CLARK
should open the box Mr.. Clark has Just re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. VIM. Il. Reid, OF
Chillicothe, Ohio, member OF the COM
mittee, stating that the Governor had au-
thorized him to act in the premises. Mr.
Reid writes that Ex-senator Thurman, an
other member of the committee, Is absent
from Columbus, but that upon his return the
committee will be called together, and will
determine what directions to give in regard
to the statue.

THURMAN's EARLY DAYS.
Personal "reminiscences of the Old
Roman.

just at present the name of Allen G. Thur
man is on many lips, hence some remini-
SCIENCES of his boyhood life related by Mrs.
Judge Longhon, of Jackson, were listened to
by the writer with unusual interest. Mrs.
Longbon, then Miss Jane Montgomery,
resided at Chillicothe in the neighborhood
of the Thurmans over fifty years ago. Speak
ing of Thurman's parents, Mrs. Longbon
said 'They were Virginians and removed
to Ohio, settling at Chillicothe. Mrs. Thur
man was rather tall, handsome woman OF
culture and refinement. She was the brains
and principal support of the family. Her
husband, Pleasant Thurman, was one OF
those shiftless fellows who was not very fond
of work. He was a carpenter by occupation,
but worked very little at his bench; and, be-
ing of religious turn of mind, occasionally
he occupied the pulpit of churches about
Chillicothe. He was generally on hand dur
ing revivals, and was a great shouter. can
see him now walking up and down the aisle
of the old Methodist church in Chillicothe,
swinging his arms and shouting at the top of
his voice. Thurman was more at home in
the heat of big revival than he was in a
carpenter shop.
"They lived in large log house, one room
being occupied by private school taught by
Mrs. Thurman. Shehad quite large school,
and many of the old citizens of Chillicothe
still cherish fond memories of the days spent
uAder the gentle instructions of Mrs. Thur
man. At this time Senator Thurman was
about thirteen years of age, slender, tow
headed boy, pale and very delicate in ap-
pearance. He was of a quiet disposition,
and at this time gave no promise of the
greatness he afterward achieved; in fact he
was regarded rather dull than bright boy.
But he grew up under the care of thought
full mother, who taught him the precepts to
be followed in life with great care. By the
time young Thurman was ready to study law
his uncle, Governor Allen, had secured a
lucrative practice, and was successful
politician. Thurman entered Aliens office,
and received both financial and intellectual
aid from him. In due time he was admitted,
and once before the courts his ability was
recognized at once, and he went rapidly to
the front.-Columbus Cor. Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

sB Major Kenton, of the Union County

lowing words:

livered at the unveiling of the Steedman

sB- Itappears that the idea of returning
the rebel battle flags originated with Adju-
tant General Drum, who has been diligently
working it up for long time. 1t was pet
scheme of Drums and the president had
nothing to do with it and put stop to it as
soon as informed what was going on. Drum
nearly entrapped Secretary Lincoln into his
scheme during Arthur's administration and
had the flags all boxed up to send away. As
Drum is regular army officer and no part
of the administration, the bloody shirt

w In view of the distressing multiplicity
of charges of wife-beating it is well to urge
that if the use of the whipping post and the
cat-o'ninetails be under any circumstances
iustifable it would be so in the matter OF
wife-beat,rs. That a wholesome terror
could be produced by such punishment is
evident from the fact that since the lash be-
gan to be applied to wife-beaters in Mary
land assaults of the sort have been practical
ly unknown. A coward can stand imprison-
ment, but he has a wholesome dread Of
physical pain. q

~ The Philadelphia Record states the
issue concisely as follows: The mass of the
Democratic party are in favor of revenue
tariff and against protective tariff. They
are in favor of taxation to carry on the gov
ernment and opposed to taxation to carry on
private enterprises. This is-not free trade,
but fair play between man and man; and it
is the best policy, because honesty is always
the best policy.
